God Bless Dr.. Ga6e'

Is the heartfelt expression of Mrs. A. Ashley,
of sharon. VT, whose daughter Lillian has
been rescued from a bed of pain and suffering
through the instrumentality of this noted
physician. An injury to her spine had render
ei her a elpiess invalid, AID no physician in
this sec ion seemed able to cope with the diff
ticulty. Some physicians advised that she be
taken to hospital for treatment. This was
utterly i'm Cossibe for the least movement
caused the most eXcruciating pain, and il was
with the greatest diff 5uitg that She could be
moved, even suniciently to allow the adjust
ment of her pillow without faintiag and
prostration. As incredible as the statement
may appear, it is a fact, nevertheless, that DR..
Gage examined her case and prescribed the
remedies without seeing her, which have
wrought this marvellous cure. In very
short time she was up and dressed, and in less
than three weeks able to leave town on Il
visit. This is indeed a wonderful cure, yet no
more so than hundreds of others in all parts
of the State who have been restored to health
by this singularly successful physician.

STAINS STARTLING STORY.


Say lie is Crank.
NEW YORK, Oct. ga despatch from
Dexter, Me-, says the story of the Dexter
bank robbery and the death Of Cashier
Barron has not yet been fully told. The
evidence gathered yesterday has thrown &
a strong shadow of doubt upon the truth
of the alleged confession made by young
Stain, but while this is the fact. some
evidence has been found which cannot
now be made public, which shows
badly against the accused. Enough
has been found, however, to clear
at least three of the men i'm
plicated in the confession. Andrews has
already been discharged. 1t has also
been proven that Kelly and Tho Epson
were out of town at the time of til rob
berry. The story told by young STAN is
not generally believed. The opinion Of 5.
g. Inland. prominent merchant, can be
fairly taken as indicating the general be-
lief He said: ut will take great deal
more than the alleged story of young
stain to convince me that Cashier Barron
was murdered instead of having com
mitted suicide. Ishould like to believe it
was murder, and am open to conviction
and ready to hear anything pertaining to
it which will tend to change my belief
AS things are given in the story | cannot
bring myself to believe in anything but
suicide. AS far as this story of Stain goes
it proves nothing, and | believe it to be a
fabrication. He is either insane or a
crank"
